MOSCOW, September 10 - RIA Novosti. The Russian FSB recommended that persons who entered into contact with pro-Ukrainian bloggers contact the Russian state security authorities, emphasizing that there would be no punishment for timely prevention of damage to the Russian Federation.
The FSB, in its statement, called on Russians to refuse contacts with pro-Ukrainian bloggers, since they drag their compatriots into crimes that threaten life imprisonment.
“We recommend that citizens who have already entered into contact with these individuals contact the FSB of Russia,” the statement says.
According to the note to Article 275 (treason) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, “a person who has committed high treason is exempt from criminal liability if he, by voluntary and timely reporting to the authorities or otherwise, contributed to the prevention of further damage to the interests of the Russian Federation and if his actions do not contain another crime,” the Russian intelligence service recalled.
According to the FSB, an SBU agent - a Russian, an employee of the organization that guards the British Embassy in Moscow - has been detained for treason. On the instructions of Ukrainian blogger Dmitry Karpenko, who goes by the pseudonym “Apostle Dmitry,” the detainee collected information regarding employees of the British Embassy in Moscow, including their residential addresses, as well as information about the security system of the diplomatic mission and the events held there.
The Kiev regime planned to use this information to commit acts of sabotage and terrorism against the British ambassador and other diplomats, followed by blaming the Russian side for their commission, with the aim of drawing Great Britain into a direct armed conflict with the Russian Federation, ensuring additional supplies of weapons and military equipment by London to Ukraine, as well as increasing sanctions pressure on Russia, the FSB emphasizes.
